Synopsis

Tori learns from the other Zodiac girls that money is not as important as she thinks. Tori is an artistic girl with expensive taste but no money. Like most Tauruses, she likes the finer things in life, so coming from a poor family is hard, and sometimes she tells little white lies to keep up with her more well-to-do friends. When Tori finds out that she is a Zodiac Girl, she thinks that her days of wearing secondhand clothes are over. But her planetary guardians aim to teach her the value of something much more important—her own self-worth.
